Ever heard, “Man up” or “Toughen up”? Well, we say it’s time to, “Empath UP!” 

It’s hard to feel ALL the feels all the time as an empath or highly sensitive person (HSP). Sometimes you might feel a little off your rocker. Like there’s something wrong with you since you feel oh-so-very MUCH. An emotional sponge. It's easy to hate being a sensitive soul.

Well, we’ve got news for you. There’s NOTHING wrong with you. You’re simply part of the 15%-20% of the population wired to be more sensitive to all the vibes and emotions in the world around than the average bear.

Face it, you ARE sensitive. AND that's an amazing, spectacular gift! {Especially once you learn to harness it as your strength -- wink!}

So for all you people who feel all the feels ALL the time, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why “Empath UP,” the unique challenges that come with being an empath or HSP, why it really IS your greatest strength, the difference between courageousness and fearlessness, our hesitation with all things woo-woo, why we the term “empath” doesn't float our boat,  and more!
